KOTA KINABALU: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia has given its tacit backing for Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, who ditched the party late last year, in a bid to stave off an attempt by Barisan Nasional to unseat him as Chief Minister.

The surprise play of support for Hajiji came from Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Hamzah Zainudin who told reporters that Sabah Barisan had breached a cooperation agreement with Perikatan Nasional prior to the 2020 Sabah election.
